Antibes has two movie theaters – the long-established and charming Casino Cinema (6 Avenue du 24 Aout) opposite La Place Hotel at the top of the Old Town, and the brand new Cineplanet (11 Rue Lacan) in the heart of the Old Town. (It’s the large glass building near the ‘Garden of Eden’.)
Both offer French and foreign language films, including several in English.
Insider Tips:
- To ensure the screening you watch is in English and not French, look out for VO or VOST (version originale sous-titrée) which means those films are screened in their original language with French sub-titles.
- Sometimes the English title given to a film in France is different to the title it has internationally. (eg. Inside Out 2 is known in France as Vice Versa 2.)
Both cinema houses show the latest releases. The Casino also sometimes shows favourite, old classics and arthouse films. For the budget-conscious, in general the Casino’s tickets are less costly. Be aware when booking at Cineplanet that some of their screening rooms are more expensive than others.
Both venues offer subscriber options that reduce ticket prices.
